Windshield wiper not working solutions: 1. Open the fuse box for inspection; 2. Replace the blown fuse; 3. If there is a burning smell when turning on the wiper, the motor is likely burnt out—replace it with a new one at a repair shop. The windshield wiper, officially known as a wiper, is an important accessory installed on the windshield to remove rain, snow, and dust that obstruct visibility. Wipers can be categorized by their driving mechanisms into mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric types. Cars generally use electric wipers, which are advantageous for their simple structure and easy control. An electric wiper consists of a motor, crank, linkage, wiper arm, and blade. When the motor rotates, it drives the crank and linkage, causing the wiper arm and blade to move across the glass.

What is a DTC fault?

Here is the relevant introduction about DTC faults: 1. Introduction to DTC: The full name of DTC is "Diagnostic-Trouble-Code", which means diagnostic trouble code. Nowadays, many car faults are diagnosed through fault codes, such as chassis detection, body and accessory detection, vehicle pollutants and noise treatment component detection, etc. The purpose is to identify the location and cause of car faults without dismantling the vehicle. 2. Solution: DTC is the abbreviation of fault diagnostic code. Faults related to the chassis, body, pollutants, noise, and other accessories are presented through this code, and it does not specifically indicate a fault in one particular place. Therefore, if a DTC fault code appears and you are not very familiar with cars, you should go to a repair shop to read and detect it with professional tools.

What to Do When the Road Is Not Divided into Motor Vehicle Lanes and Non-Motor Vehicle Lanes?

On roads not divided into motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes, motor vehicles should travel in the middle of the road, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should travel on both sides of the road. Such legal provisions not only help improve traffic flow speed but also protect non-motor vehicles and pedestrians, objectively preventing traffic accidents. Below is additional information: 1. According to Article 35 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles shall drive on the right side. 2. Article 36 stipulates that based on road conditions and traffic needs, roads shall be divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and sidewalks. Motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians shall travel in their respective lanes. If the road is not divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and sidewalks, motor vehicles shall travel in the middle of the road, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians shall travel on both sides. 3.

What does AC/ECO mean?

The following is the relevant introduction about AC/ECO: 1. AC: AC is the compressor switch of the car air conditioner, which is the cooling switch. To turn on the air conditioner for cooling in summer, you need to turn on the AC switch. The car air conditioner refers to the air conditioning device installed in the car, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air in the compartment, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing the driver's fatigue, and improving driving safety. 2. ECO: ECO is the economy mode of automatic transmission cars. The ECO mode is derived from the synthesis of ecology, energy saving, and optimization. The main principle is: during the vehicle's movement, it comprehensively judges and analyzes conditions that affect fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gear, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel amount to provide to the engine for work, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to the normal driving mode.

What does it mean when the ignition switch is in the ON position?

The ignition switch in the ON position means that all basic equipment except the starter is operating normally. If the key is also in the ON position, all components of the vehicle are powered, including the engine system. The dashboard lights will illuminate, and the fuel pump will begin to build up oil pressure. After approximately 5 to 10 seconds, the fuel pump will have fully built up oil pressure, and the dashboard needles will return to their original positions. Finally, pressing the start switch will start the vehicle. Meanings of other positions of the ignition switch: LOCK is for locking the car. Generally, when the key is in this position, the steering wheel is locked and cannot be moved significantly. ACC provides power to the entire vehicle, allowing the radio, lights, etc., to function normally, but the air conditioning cannot be used. The control process of the car's ignition switch: When the ignition switch is in the "OFF" position, turning the key to the "OFF" (off) position connects the two internal contact points in the horizontal position, which means the external wires "black-white wire" and "green wire" are connected. If you measure the two wires with an ohmmeter (Ω), they should be in a conductive state. In the actual vehicle, the connection of these two wires indicates that the entire circuit system stops working, the ignition system circuit is in a short-circuit state, and the engine is turned off.
